Book Review: Universal Design And Visitability: From Accessibility To Zoning, Mikel Breitenstein
RIT Digital Archives
In 2005, the National Endowment for the Arts invited proposals for its annual Universal Design Leadership Initiative, and in December 2005, Jack Nasar and Jennifer Evans- Cowley received a grant to host an international conference on universal design and to produce an edited book derived from the conference. The Universal Design and Visitability Conference was held July 13–14, 2006, in Columbus, Ohio. It was supported by several schools at The Ohio State University. Two hundred people, onsite (125) and online (75), attended the conference. Nine papers from the conference are published in this small but very informative book.

Complementarity In Romantic Relationships: Constructs Involved In Individual And Partner Change, Rebekah L. Davis, Wind Goodfriend
Complementarity In Romantic Relationships: Constructs Involved In Individual And Partner Change, Rebekah L. Davis, Wind Goodfriend
Modern Psychological Studies
The purpose of the current research was to investigate complementarily vs. similarity in romantic partners, as well as changes in partners' life skill levels over time. It was predicted that individuals would be more complementary to each other than similar, that they would be more likely to improve their weaknesses if they were high in Type A personality and growth, and if they perceived that their partners wanted them to improve. Surprisingly, none of these hypotheses were supported. However, improvement on life skills was positively correlated with both relationship duration and relationship satisfaction. Implications and future research possibilities are discussed.

School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Presentations
This article details an autoethnography project of our odysseys into the pedagogy of unlearning racism. Our know ledge creation process forced us to re-envision both our locations in, and pedagogy of, anti-racism work, with particular attention to the challenges and dangers of teaching about, to, and from White privilege within social work. In the end, we are both troubled and invigorated by what we experienced, witnessed, and supported. By asking people of color to share their personal narratives of racism in the presence of Whites, teachers, facilitators, and diversity trainers stand to continue privileging Whiteness where Whites benefit and learn …

FMS is elucidated using an eclectic approach, including concepts from drive theory, object relations, contemporary case studies, and trauma theory (including the role of the brain in pain with no known etiology). A biopsychosocial assessment of a hypothetical client is offered in an attempt to ground the various ideas …
